Xiao Han's departure did not span endless light years in an instant, but in a way that transcended conventional physical laws. Driven by his huge will, he made a precise and rapid "leap" across the sea of stars. His Super-Senses was fully deployed, like an infinitely extending precision radar, scanning, evaluating, and filtering every galaxy it passed.
His standards are simple yet demanding:
G-type main sequence stars (providing stable and sufficient sunlight).
Single star system (to avoid complex gravitational interference).
At least one Earth-like planet (with a solid surface).
There are absolutely no signs of intelligent civilization (no electromagnetic wave pollution, no energy signature, no traces of transformation).
Stay away from any known civilized waterways or abnormal space areas (to ensure long-term quietness).
This is an extremely harsh filtering condition. Although there are countless stars in the universe, "Utopia" that meets all the conditions is like gold grains in the sea of sand, rare and hard to find.
He passed by the burning gas giant planet, passed through the icy Asteroid Belt, and avoided the pulsars and black hole event horizons that emitted chaotic energy fluctuations. He briefly stayed at the edge of a chaotic system with three stars, where the gravitational turbulence was fierce, and the space The structure was unstable, and he instantly labeled it as a "poor environment" and left quickly. He also sensed some weak energy reactions of low-level silicon-based life forms hidden deep in Asteroid Belt, and without hesitation classified them as "potential noise sources" and bypassed them.
His journey was silent, but not without twists and turns.
As he passed through a buffer star field on the border between two ancient civilizations, the crude sensors of a patrolling border patrol boat belonging to a warlike insectoid race captured his fleeting energy trail.
"An unknown high-speed object breaks into the restricted area! The energy level is extremely high! It is suspected to be a new type of reconnaissance ship or weapon platform!" The insectoid captain let out a sharp scream. Based on the inherent aggressiveness of its race, it did not even try to communicate with the identification, and directly ordered, "Fire! Shoot it down!"
Several thick bio-energy beams and several acid spore missiles blasted towards the trajectory of Xiao Han!
In the simple thinking of insectoids, anyone who breaks into their airspace without permission is an enemy.
Xiao Han didn't even change direction, but at the moment when the attack was about to touch him, a trace of extremely slight displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Annoying bugs. Can't even achieve basic quietness.
He didn't even make any obvious counterattacks.
But those energy beams and spore missiles, when they were still several kilometers away from his body, were like hitting an absolutely invisible and incomprehensible wall. The energy structure inside them instantly collapsed, Oblivion, without even producing an explosion, they turned into the most basic particles and dissipated in the vacuum.
As for the insectoid patrol boat, the moment the attack was launched, the bioelectrical signals and neurotransmitter activity in the brain of all members of the insectoid patrol boat were instantly "silenced" by an invisible force. Like a machine that had been unplugged, they all collapsed to the ground, losing all vital signs. The patrol boat itself relied on inertia to slide silently into the depths of the universe, turning into a floating metal coffin.
A trivial interception, not even a conflict, was silently erased.
Xiao Han's speed did not slow down at all, as if he just brushed off a speck of dust on the corner of his clothes. He didn't even bother to remember the name of this race or star field. The source of the noise was cleared and he continued to move forward.
His Super-Brain continues to filter massive interstellar data. Information from countless galaxies flows through his consciousness: too young stars are unstable, too old stars have weak radiation, systems with multiple planets have complex gravity, and areas with asteroid belts (Asteroid Belt) have potential collision risks...
Time has no meaning to him, but his patience in searching is not unlimited. The continuous and fruitless search itself has begun to become a new kind of "irritability".
Just as he passed through a Nebula that was diffused with thin interstellar gas and had low visibility, his senses captured a lonely star located on the edge of Nebula.
A stable, G-type yellow star in its prime.
Spectrum analysis shows that its lighting is stable and sufficient.
The gravity sensor reports that it has three planets, one of which is located in the habitable zone, is similar in size to the Earth, and has an atmosphere and liquid water signals.
The most critical thing is - there are no signs of intelligent civilization! There are no electromagnetic waves, no energy signatures, no city lights, no orbiters! Even the energy responses of slightly more complex life forms are extremely weak!
Perfect.
Xiao Han's eyes were fixed on the light blue planet, and for the first time he took the initiative to adjust his direction and galloped towards it.
As the distance gets closer, more details emerge: most of the planet's surface is covered by oceans, the land is mainly composed of a complete supercontinent and several larger islands, the vegetation is dense, the atmosphere has suitable composition, and geological activities are stable.
He penetrated the atmosphere, fell like a meteor, and finally hovered over a vast, golden desert.
The blazing sunshine pours down without any obstruction, baking the sand to a boil. The air is dry and clean, without any odor caused by industrial pollution or life activities. The wind stirs up the sand, making a monotonous and soft rustling sound, but other than that, everything is silent.
There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no roar of airplanes, no interference of radio waves, no prying eyes, no stupid bugs running to disturb you.
Just sunshine, desert, and absolute tranquility.
Xiao Han slowly landed on a sand dune, and his feet sank into the warm fine sand.
He took a deep breath, feeling the pure and blazing sunlight energy pouring into every cell of his body, and feeling the unprecedented silence that completely enveloped him.
The nerves that had been tense finally relaxed slowly.
He looked around with satisfaction. The endless golden sand sea shimmered in the sun, and the sky was pure blue without a trace of clouds.
This is it.
He doesn't need a house, he doesn't need tools, he doesn't need any external objects.
He only needs this sea of sand and the Eternity sun above his head.
He sat down slowly, letting the sand wrap around his body, and once again entered the long-lost state of complete tranquility, and began to greedily absorb energy, as if he wanted to make up for all the previously disturbed time.
The lone traveler in the sea of stars finally found his ideal place to live.
An absolutely quiet world that truly belongs only to him.
However, he didn't know, or in other words, didn't care at all - this seemingly ownerless and peaceful star field was not really unknown. Deep in that Nebula, there was an extremely ancient and low-key civilization observation station hidden. And the arrival of his uninvited guest, the energy fluctuation that instantly penetrated Nebula, had triggered a certain long-silent alarm line.
True absolute tranquility, in this universe full of curiosity and strife, may itself be a luxury.
But at least at this moment, the sunshine is just right and everything is silent.
